Music Theory Exam

Yesterday's theory exam was the worst one ever since 'A' level. I used up the full 3 hours and it was so mentally grueling I had to stone for 1.5 hours after that to recover.

I had about about 0.5hour to tidy up my paper and complete blanks which I left out. It was agonising questioning and scaring myself unnecessarily as I double-checked my work. But I know I really did the best I knew how...

Result will probably be out in 2-3 weeks. I hope not to let my teacher down =(

Next up, I will be starting on my piano practical exam pieces and stuff. I dunno if I have the time to practise well. But yea I must trust my teacher. =)

Psychology Exam

Just saw my Psychology test result... I think it's not too bad... Quite happy with it. =) I'm going to skip Psych tutorial and lecture tomorrow. =) Not due to complacency (as what I'd like to think) but because they are not value for time.

Daphne's Housewarming

Great celebration for end of music exam and every other things. I have never drunk so much alcohol in my whole life and I got super cranky haha. Now I slightly understand why people like to drink their sorrow away.

You get an instant high and escape from reality.

For a while...

Maybe even that little while is worthwhile in a midst of disarray.

Movie with Orchestra

We watched "Nodame Cantabile" which is an orchestral show. They played Bach No.1 in D minor! A piece we last performed at VCH. Brought back memories of Sofi playing on the piano and fulfilling her dream, and me struggling to get the notes right on my cello.

I love that piece...

The movie also depicts life of a musician. The kinda mental agony of reaching a point where you almost want to give up, where dreams seem far-fetched, where there is always someone better than you, where all eyes are on you... And you screw up.

But there resides something greater in you - a burning passion, a secret desire.

Which keeps you going, even if it means you have to drag along the shackles on your feet, being a laughing stock, being demeaned.
